GUNNISON CONFERENCE … With one scheduled event falling though, I got to attend the 19th annual Headwaters Conference in Gunnison last month after thinking I wasn't. I was delighted. I haven't missed a one. Why? Because it's a great discussion, no matter the topic, with some of the Headwaters Region's best and brightest (with definitely a tilt to the progressive side of the political table – just where I like to sit) … Another Headwaters elder, Ed Quillen, who writes a weekly column for the Denver Post (the big leagues), also publishes the Colorado Central magazine monthly out of Salida (www.cozine.com). His latest issue (I'm a long-time subscriber) has a great account and extrapolation of the conference this year, "Politics, Power and Hard Times," ranging from Dr. Duane Vandenbusche's great account of L.L. Nunn's groundbreaking AC power project at the Gold King Mine (well done) to the need for distributed generation for security and economic health (absolutely spot on) … Order the December issue for only $3.50 or wait till Ed and Martha (his mate and co-publisher) put it online (only the August issue is up now, so you might have to wait a few months).
GOOD OMEN … I know. We're teetering on the brink of a Republican-led depression once again (don't you love capitalism boom/bust exuberance?) … And yet who can feel bummed when Telluride opens with a powder day? … This is the year I promised my 10-year-old that he can teach me how to ski. I mean 30 years and it's about time, right? And I think I picked a great year for learning.
BASKET SHOW … Mick Hill has kindly agreed to hang a show of my woven coil baskets from the last decade at his Steaming Bean Coffeehouse in Telluride … That's one piece of good news. Haven't set an opening party date yet, but we're working on it … The other is that he got a new lease and he won't be moving out, like he was worried about. And that's good news for us all.
SIGN OF THE TIMES … At the edge of Gateway, Highway 141, in the shadow of the Palisade, "Got Purpose?"
GLOBALISM … rewards quality at low cost. In the home markets that means cutting back on quality to lower cost, since labor and eco-laws justly funded, are dollar expensive (though socially invaluable). And so American-made can't compete with foreign exports … I use a lot of incense in my studio, and I hate lighters and their flammable fluids. So I buy small box matches. For years I was stuck with one brand. It may not have been a monopoly, but it was the only kind of match that the stores carried – Diamond "Strike On Box" Matches from Jarden Home Brands headquartered in Muncie, Ind., and in big letters the proud insignia read "Made In America" … And I watched over the years as the red tip of phosphorus got smaller and smaller. Pretty soon the matches were smoldering instead of sparking into flame and lighting. Smoldering phosphorus gives off a vile smell … So I started looking for substitutes. Aside from specialty box matches available at certain restaurants and taverns, I didn't see much else … And then, down in Durango, I noticed that Kroger's Hardware Store had its own brand of box matches. I bought them. Reading the fine print, I saw they were (surprise!) made in China. And they did the same thing as the American matches. About half of them smoldered and never caught fire on striking. They cut back on phosphorus to the point of sabotaging the very function. It was quite depressing … Eventually, out in California this summer, I found a house brand at Raley's Markets (a regional chain prominent on the West Coast, like City Market is here). These were made in India. Their heads were big and red. They burst quickly into flame with a minimum of striking. These were the matches I wanted, would be willing to pay a little more for – matches that actually worked. From India … It's not just that foreign goods come at a better price, they often come at a better quality. And that's just as depressing.
SALT CEDAR … What is also commonly known as "tamarisk" (actually eight imported species of salt cedar) has been listed as an invasive weed and slated for eradication, especially on our riverine corridors here in the West. Even ex-Governor Owens jumped into fray and called for a concerted effort to eliminate salt cedar from Colorado rivers, citing the common knowledge that tamarisk drank up huge quantities of precious water and that an eradication program would free up hundreds of acre-feet of water for human use … Now a recent University of Arizona study is challenging the idea that tamarisk is a wateroholic and that it doesn't provide good habitat for critters (another "common knowledge") … According to Dr. Ed Glenn, a senior research scientist in the Environmental Research Laboratory, part of the University of Arizona's department of soil, water and environmental science, "What we've found using remote sensors calibrated with ground measurements is that salt cedar only uses three feet of water per year, which is less than your backyard lawn, and even less than the native trees. In comparison, farmers apply seven to nine feet to their alfalfa fields, of which the plants use about six feet, and the rest is lost to runoff or deep infiltration." (http://uanews.org/node/22298) … And Glenn also noted that tamarisk provided good habitat for some species, like the southwest willow flycatcher, a species on the brink … Of course, not all tamarisk infestations are benign, and one has to do site specific investigations to see whether tamarisk is a positive or negative in one's watershed. But once again, in our rush to stop all exotics from colonizing our region (curiously, the exact process we used as Europeans in coming to this continent), we have demonized a plant that good science is now showing us is not that bad an actor on the scene … The lesson here is that before we go declaring war on plants, even introduced exotics (a.k.a. "weeds"), we ought to first learn everything we can about them. Not afterwards … At the same time, not all tamarisk invasions are benign. And site specific.
IRIS IN BORNEO #2 … "I left Kuala Lumpur bright and early for Sandakan in Borneo, where I headed straight for Uncle Tan's remote wildlife camp on the Kinabatangan River. I spent two nights and three days at the camp, which we accessed by boat up the serene, jungle-lined river. The camp consisted of several basic wooden bungalows for sleeping, which included mosquito nets, but lacked the creature comforts of fans or running water. While at the camp we took several boat safari's down the river to see wildlife and saw a baby crocodile, two pythons, a proboscis monkey, which looked strangely human-like in profile due to its big protruding nose, an owl, with its big eyes and bobbing head, and many colorful tropical birds. We also went on two jungle hikes on foot, one by day and one by night, where we saw many crazy insects, including a black scorpion, a millipede (which I had the pleasure of holding), a leech (which our guide held), frogs, lizards, birds, spiders, and more creepy crawlers. Also, during some down time at the camp a group of long tailed Macaque monkeys took over the eating area. At first we encouraged the little mohawked cuties to come closer so we could take pics, but once the whole pack began to advance toward us we realized the invitation may have been a mistake and we retreated, as they stole our Pepsi and rummaged through the trash before we were able to scare them off."

Yellowman has an incredible history in Reggae music. His upbringing at the Maxfield Home orphanage and being albino in Kingston, Jamaica were two obstacles the he overcame and went on to be (at one time) the biggest reggae artist since Bob Marley. After winning a talent contest in Kingston, Yellow went on to excite reggae crowds all over Jamaica and the rest of the world with his boastful and sometimes bodacious lyrics. He also began to work with the Ace Sound System in St. Thomas and drew big crowds at his dancehall performances. Later in his career, Yellow began to spread out and work for a number of different producers, sometimes releasing as many as five albums per year. This led to a recording contract with CBS Records. Yellowman recorded one album with them before he was diagnosed with jaw cancer and was given six months to live. This was in 1986. After surgery, he took an extended leave of absence from the record industry, Yellowman began his comeback with the song "Blueberry Hill," and his career was re-launched. His first album for RAS came from producer Phillip 'Fatis' Burrell and was called Yellow Like Cheese.
The rudest Dancehall toaster of the 1980s, Jamaica's albino son Yellowman made as many enemies as fans with his controversial, often overtly sexist (if tongue in cheek) lyrics. Now back on the Ragga scene, singing at a slightly slower pace, Yellowman's witticisms are as cheeky, spirited and intelligent as ever, and delivered with his customary sharp, melodic style.

Today, I would like to continue conversation
on the "Four Acts of Love." If you haven't seen it yet, I encourage
you to check out Group founder Thom Schultz's blog. He's doing a series
based on his new book, and he discusses things people today want to
find in a church-what he calls the "four acts of love." Last week
we looked at the act of radical hospitality. Today we'll talk about
another act of love, fearless conversation.
Thom has recently touched on this act of love
on his blog.
"People today, especially younger generations,
want to be part of the conversation. They live in an interactive
world. They view the typical church sermon time as an elongated,
one-way lecture. Though they desire the subject matter, the
delivery mode is passive and non-participatory," writes Thom. "In
the book, we advocate something we call Fearless Conversation. It's
one of the 'four acts of love' that we believe can make a church
irresistible. When it comes to matters of faith, people crave a
real conversation, not just another lecture from a professional
Younger generations want to be part of the
conversation. Your kids in your ministry want to talk. And not just
about games or friends…they want to talk about God. So the question
is, how often do we let them?
ministry leaders or volunteers are afraid to let kids talk. They
feel as if it gives the power to the kids. That they won't be able
to control the conversation's trajectory. Others feel as if their
kids will ask a question about God that they're not sure how to
answer. And still others feel that if they aren't talking, the kids
aren't learning.
Let me encourage you to let kids talk. Ask
thought-provoking questions that will cause them to take a
moment to think
about their answers rather than blurting out pieces of
memorized trivia. Let kids share with others about how God works in
their lives. And don't be afraid of getting a question that you
don't know the answer to. This can be a time of humility for you to
show kids that it's okay not to have all the answers.
We've heard a lot of really good questions
asked by kids throughout the years. Here's a sampling of some, as
well as some great ways to respond to them.
"Why does prayer sometimes work and
sometimes doesn't?
Prayer isn't like a Christian rabbit's foot:
rub it and get your wish. Prayer is communication with God who sees
the big picture in our lives. Sometimes we don't get the answer we
want because God knows it wouldn't be good for us. Other times,
people who aren't following Jesus do things that affect us. God
won't make them do right things. Everyone has the free will to make
bad choices, even if we pray that they won't. But we know Jesus is
always with us when we walk through difficult, hard, or hurtful
-Marlene LeFever
"Bad things have been happening in my
life, and I feel like God is punishing me. Why does God punish
Here are two statements that simply aren't
true: Things are going good for me because I'm good; and Things are
going bad for me because I'm bad. Sometimes we're doing all the
right things and still get slammed by life. Other times, people do
wrong things and seem to get rewarded for it (like that friend who
cheated and aced a test you struggled to pass). But cheaters don't
really win, and God hasn't punished you because you have or haven't
tried hard enough. Life is tough and unfair sometimes, but those
tough times can give you the ability to persevere until things
smooth out once again.
-John Trent
Where is God? Who made
With young ones, ages 4 to 5, give the
shortest, correct answer possible. Then ask if the answer was
helpful or if they want to know more. Avoid the temptation to
explain all the facets of the issue the child has raised. When it's
simply not possible to give a simple answer, point out that God is
so great there is much about him that no one really understands.
Then state one or two essential truths about God that we do know
for sure.
How can God listen to everyone at the
same time?
We can't hear everyone at once, but God can.
God can listen to all of us at the same time. We can't explain how
God hears so much at once, but we know it's true because the Bible
tells us it's true in 1 John 5:14.
"Is it okay to doubt some things in
the Bible? What about doubting God?"
When children have opportunities to bring
their deepest questions to God, their faith will most likely grow
and become more personal. Don't be afraid to encourage children to
explore their faith, because God is strong enough to handle all of
our greatest doubts and fears.
-Amy Dolan

Jake Takes on American Airlines
Posted by: leelefever on September 21, 2005- 5:00pm
Categories: blogging, business, disruption, friends
I love this kind of thing- the little guy does what he can to take on a big company. Jake is a loyal customer (platinum member) of American Airlines, but got dissed recently over a $50 mix-up that was their fault and got insulted at the same time. So, he's written a letter to the company explaining the circumstances and counting (literally, by the second, on his site) how long it takes to get an reply/apology from the company. Will they reply? Does it matter that he's blogging it all? It'll... Continue Reading
Global PR Blog Week 2.0 and Our Paper
Nancy White and I have been continuing our work on the March of Dimes "Share" online community. We're about to finish a second phase of updates- the last for a while. What a great project. We have been writing our story of helping to build the Share community over the last few weeks and were honored to have the paper invited to the Global PR Blog Week 2.0, going on this week. The paper is called: Surprising Partners: Adding Blogs to an Existing Non-Profit Community. You can read it, along... Continue Reading
I'm just starting a new project that should be really interesting. I'm working with Bill Reid's group at Microsoft, which does IT Solutions. Like so many other teams at the company, they are interested in using blogs as a way to support and connect more personally with customers. When we first started talking about the project, it was about using blogs as a feedback loop, where the blogs would facilitate customer feedback that could be used to improve products, in this case, IT...

Dell and The Business Experiment
I got an email today from Robert May of Business Pundit. He is creating a new site that is called TheBusinessExperiment.com. As you might expect, it is an experiment. Here's how he describes it: The Business Experiment is a site meant to explore three concepts: wisdom of crowds, open-source business, and the distributed nature of work. The goal is to have the registered users of this site collectively start and run a real business. Interesting huh? Now for something a little differentâ... Continue Reading
Andy Wibbels at Easy Bake Weblogs invited me to participate in one of his regularly scheduled "Blog Conversations" calls. The audio and call notes are here. I had a great time and got to wax philosophic on some of the things I'm most passionate about. Thanks for the opportunity Andy!
Andy Wibbels of Easy Bake Weblogs has asked me to participate in a call in his series of "blog conversations". We'll be talking about how the weblog world listens, partially based on this post.

Tagging for Mom and Pop
Posted by: leelefever on May 10, 2005- 5:00pm
Categories: business, flickr, recommendation, travel
We stayed at a small mom and pop "resort" in the San Juan Islands last weekend called WestBeach Resort. There were three families there and all have at least one blog. Everyone took pictures and everyone has Flickr. Aside from marveling at the total nerd-dom of all involved, I thought about tagging. I've tagged all of my photos from the trip on Flickr (and this post) with the "westbeach�? tag. This made me think about the folks who run WestBeach and what this tagging stuff means to...

The Weblog Elevator Pitch- One Year Later
Posted by: leelefever on April 26, 2005- 5:00pm
Categories: blogs, business, communication, Explanation, plainenglish, simplicity
It was one year ago that I won my first contest as a writer. The challenge was to create the "perfect corporate weblog elevator pitch". It was put on by the folks at Weblogs Inc. via the Social Software Weblog and Judith Meskill. At the very least, I hope the little contest preserves a look at what people thought was an accurate summary of how blogs could be used inside a corporation. One day, people may say "that was sooo 2004". For now though, I still stand beind the pitch 100%. Here it... Continue Reading
Amazon's "Concordance" Zeitgeist
You likely know that Amazon is working to scan every page of every book right? It's what enables the "Look inside the book" feature- they scan every page. They are now turning that into something they call Concordance, which is the "zeitgeist" view of the most used words in the book. See it in action here. Thanks for the tip Jay!
Whaaa? Rupert Murdoch on the ClueTrain?
Murdoch tells editors to embrace the bloggers - Times Online The intro of the article says it all: Rupert Murdoch has told US newspaper editors that they will have to ditch their "God-like" attitude to their readers and create an open and more democratic relationship with bloggers and other web users if they want to survive and prosper in the digital age. This was aimed at newspapers, but his reach is much more broad. His company, News Corporation, owns these organizations: 20th Century Fox,... Continue Reading

Screen Scraping SE
The Screen Scraping Service Engine provides a complete solution for updating legacy systems with current technologies and exposing them as web services. The orchestrated web services make it possible to share data and services between legacy systems and other information providers and consumers.
The current implementation includes support for the IBM Telnet 3270 protocol to access mainframe-based applications. A NetBeans plug-in module provides tooling for developers to design legacy system web service's data and operations. The resulting design artifacts are used by the Screen Scraping Service Engine to enable real-time integration with these applications.
Developers use the NetBeans wizard to create a Screen Scraping Module project and to design web service artifacts for targetted TN3270 applications. The service engine running within GlassFish ESB's JBI container executes generated Ruby scripts to interact with the server. The screen scraping API is developed in Java, and is used in both the design-time and runtime components. The API interprets IBM Telnet 3270 protocol from datastream established over TCP/IP connection to the server.
The following diagram shows the complete development cycle from implementing web service to integrate with legacy systems.
Once the server connection properties are provided, the wizard appears. The wizard includes an emulator. Web services for legacy applications are described along with the user's interaction with the emulator. When the emulator starts, the recorder can be turned on to store the user's actions. Each user's data input can be parameterized into a part of web service input structure. On a given screen, the user can enable the output data construct tool to describe the expected data output XML structure.
After the recording process ends, Ruby scripts and input and output XML schemas are produced. The generated files are loaded by the service engine to provision the web service.

Stella McCartney - Paris Spring 2009
View Gallery
(PARIS) McCartney is one of the most jovial designers in the business, full of such passion for her work that it has almost had the awful tendency to render her clothing slightly flat by comparison. This season, say goodbye to all that underappreciation, as McCartney sent out a killer collection of cool-girl separates. There were plenty of sleek bandage dresses, boyfriend jackets, trench dresses, and perfect suits--all done in femme colors like her signature shell pink. The looks debuted against a coloring book-inspired backdrop by brothers Jake and Dinos Chapman, which contrasted nicely with the romantic cut-out and techy chainmail dresses. In the audience, Sir Paul (who expressed a preference for the austere lucite-heeled sandals) wasn't the only one sporting a serious grin.

Pedrosa refreshed ahead of Indy challenge
Dani Pedrosa heads to Indianapolis feeling rested and refreshed as he prepares to renew hostilities in the battle for the MotoGP World Championship.
The Repsol Honda rider currently lies second in the riders' championship, 23 points behind leader Jorge Lorenzo with eight races remaining.
The Spaniard finished third at the last round at Laguna Seca as team-mate Casey Stoner took the win ahead of Yamaha's Lorenzo.
The teams and riders have had a mid-season break since then, and Pedrosa is raring to go at a track where he won in 2010 and where he should have won in 2009 when he crashed out while holding a handy lead.
He said: "I had a very good summer break; in these two weeks I was able to relax a little, enjoy time with friends and get back into my training.
"At this time of year, Indianapolis is normally very hot so fitness is always key.
"I enjoy riding at this track and I've had good results in the past.
"I am really looking forward to this race and will fight to win and maintain the consistency we have showed in the first part of the championship".
Lorenzo, meanwhile, heads to Indy fresh from finding out that his team-mate for 2013 will be nine-time world champion Valentino Rossi, who is to return to the Japanese manufacturer after a nightmare spell with Ducati.
But before the pair are reunited, the Spaniard is looking to sew up his second title in the top class, although he knows an improvement from last year's race, where he finished fourth after struggling with the handling of his bike, will be required.
"I really enjoy riding the Indy track, and have good memories here from my podiums in 2008 and 2010 and my great win in 2009," he said.
"Last year I really struggled with grip in the race so I hope we can improve that this year. I've had a nice break but also been training to make sure I'm fit for this weekend."

Ken from Land O Laks, Florida
I found this chair to give me the most bang for my buck. I could not buy the cider wood to build it on my own for what it cost to buy it. Only about 10 min. to put together.
Heidi from Providence, RI
I have three ruptured discs in my back so sitting in any chair is miserable. While awaiting back surgery I ordered my Adirondacks. These chairs are the only ones I own that I can sit in comfortably. I look forward to many hours of reading and lounging in the chairs while I recover from surgery. And, to think, they'll never need an ounce of maintenance, save a damp cloth from time to time. At this price, these chairs are an unmatchable value.
Public Space Maker from Washington DC area
We have placed 10 of these chairs into public space - they have been well used, daily, by the public and have held up remarkably well for over 4 months with heavy use. we have seen no fading, cracking or damage so far. Highly recommended after using lesser quality chairs. Ordering More!
Joan from Troy,PA
These chairs look great! You do have to do some assembly which takes some time but I am used to having to do this. The directions are pretty easy to follow. I like the way they sit higher than the traditional adirondack chair. I would recomend these to anyone that wants a fun, attractive outdoor chair.

I was going to build this my self. I looked it up on line and found these at a good price. I decided to give it a try to see the quality. I wasn't diapointed. I didn't have to build my own. It was some asembly when they arrived and presto!

My Dad really enjoyed the chair. He sits in it every morning before he heads out to work and again when he comes home.

Having already done a couple of acoustic guitars in training, this kit was an excellent way to dry run my own shop and develop some of the necessary jigs. I was concerned about the integrity of the neck and the heel joint so I routed a channel in the neck and placed a carbon fiber support rod. I also routed a mortice into the neck heel and the top of the body and fashioned a tenon to join both parts. I used mahogany binding on the neck and the body. The finish is vinyl base coats followed by grain fill and nitro cellulose lacquer. I used my own bone nut and saddle. All in all, it was great fun.
It is possible to build a nice instrument without a shop full of tools. A drill press, and band saw are helpful but not necessary. You definitely do need a scraper, fret hammer, chisels, sanding blocks, etc.. A 6" piece of closet dowel with sandpaper stuck on it is helpful for sanding around the waist areas. The instructions are not nearly as good as the guitar kit manual but they are good enough. I dressed mine up with ebony binding and heel cap and finished with zpoxy for grain filler, vinyl sealer, and lacquer. The results are pleasing. It sounds as nice as my 1950s Gibson tenor uke.
There are a lot of things to like about this kit but there are problems as well, starting with the freehand method they use to glue the neck block to the sides. This procedure is dealt with much better in the soprano kit, don't know why they didn't just copy that. I did it with a jig, after totally being unable to do it the way they show. I've built several guitars and ukes, I think a total beginner would be frustrated right off the bat. And I had the DVD too. The neck dowel problem was mentioned. How hard would it have been to just have the manufacturer predrill the holes? The mahogany is rough textured but I don't use a gloss finish, I use a shellac and wax finish I learned from Michael Dresdner in a class. I give the uke one or two coats of polyurethane natural stain, then do the shellac and wax, it looks great if you like a non-gloss finish.
I came out with a nice sounding well functioning instrument. I have very good tools, however. Fretting and joining neck to body are difficult operations. The DVD demonstrates dowel joints drilled freehand. This is a very high risk procedure. I made jigs for doweling and still couldn't keep the holes centered. I don't recommend a dowel joint. The neck in my kit was unusable due to tear out and a tuning machine was inappropriate. StewMac rectified this promptly. The mahogany had difficult grain with deep pores. A lot of scraping was required and a lot of finish to fill the pores. I used HVLP spray gun to finish. You have to thin the brushing lacquer about 10% to spray it. I can't wait to build another one. I will not use a dowel joint.
Recently I purchased the tenor uke kit. I have purchased kits for various instruments in the past, and I expected the uke kit to be of the same fine quality. It was not. The brace wood is crude the instructions are poor and I did not want to lay out another $20.00 for the DVD. I would not buy another one of these uke kits.
This was not my first instrument build, but it was my first uke and first Stew Mac kit. Having some experience and lutherie tools it was not a terribly difficult build. The wood is nice and instructions were pretty clear for the most part. I added my own modifications, including herringbone purfling and rosette, tortoise body and fretboard binding, rosewood end wedge and heel cap, and friction tuners. I finished it with colortone stains and Behlen's vinyl sealer and lacquer with Preval units. The sound is really nice and better than most of the imported tenors that cost more money. I'm looking forward to building my next Stew Mac kit!
I received the Tenor Ukelele kit with instructions on how to assemble and found it to be adequate though I doubt that it could easily be assembled by an inexperienced woodworker. The tuners that were sent did not completely match as one of the tuners was for the wrong side. The neck assembly is a bit unsound as the connection to the body is accomplished with dowel pins rather than the conventional heel assembly that is integral to the block having the sides attach via slots on the side of the block. Nevertheless the instrument when completed looks and feels quite satisfactory and the price is right.
Waited a long time to write this review. I can only give this kit two stars. Materials are cheaply milled. Have purchased three kits now and not one could be put together with "simple" wood working tools. For sure, there is no quality assurance given to these kits. Two of three kits had warped tops or backs. I have received untrue neck blocks in all three kits that would need to be unglued straightened up and sanded for a proper fit. Two of the backs and tops cracked under light pressure from the rubber bands during glue up. The slots in all three finger boards are way too deep and showed gaps at every fret. Some nuts and saddles were plastic instead of bone. The proposed jig is a nightmare to build accurately. The measurements are off in the manual. The best quality parts are actually the tuning machines which is not what I would have expected. With their reputation for quality, I would have expected a much easier build from Stew Mac. For the price of this kit, I would have expected nicely milled parts. I'll give it two stars only because the top, back and sides are solid mahogany. Having priced the raw materials $155 would be a fair cost if the individual components were not so poorly milled. The tenor uke is a great introduction to uke making but this particular kit really makes building it an unpleasant experience. After three bad kits I give up. I don't mind buying the proper tools either, but I shouldn't have to rework the parts that are supposed to be done for me.
Amazingly Simple and quality
Being retried and a hobbist woodworker I was doubtful before I ordered my Ukulele, that I could actually finish it. The kit was very complete, it had a very good instruction booklet. Start to finsh it took about two weeks, as I was working on other projects at the same time. I gave it away at a family reunion in Sept. as a fund raiser. Also, I had some CNC engraving done on the front, to commemorate the event. It sound great and the new owner is very happy. I will make another for next years reunion. very gratifying project.

An unidentified man was caught by surveillance cameras last weekend swiping the holiday decorations from lawns in San Antonio, Texas. According to footage obtained by KSAT-TV, the suspect can be seen driving past a house in a white vehicle early Sunday morning, before running into frame, grabbing an inflatable sled and snowman and running back off-screen presumably to stuff the goods into his vehicle.
The "shopping" spree was just getting started, however. The Scrooge ran back for an inflatable train set and Santa Claus -- and that was before running across the street and swiping a neighbor's inflatable sled before speeding off in his car. He's still at large, and presumed to be very high up on Santa's naughty list.

New Doctors Hospital Expected to Open by March 1GRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - The new Doctors Hospital on the south end of Grand Forks is set to open soon, but a little later than expected.
GRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - The new Doctors Hospital on the south end of Grand Forks is set to open soon, but a little later than expected.
It still has a few tests to pass and some supplies and equipment to set up.
If all goes as planned, the 65 bed facility should open its doors by March 1.
"It's a job of 10,000 little things right now," Doctors Hospital CEO Albert Pilkington said.
The new facility is nearly complete. Doctors Hospital should receive supplies this week. Equipment arrived last week.
"We're finishing up our life safety code survey today and then we're also been in the process of finishing up our policy and procedures," Pilkington said.
The hospital will need to pass two more surveys before it can open. One is an assessment from the state, the other is for accreditation.
"It just depends on whenever they arrive and when we get through the second survey then we can go to the third survey, but both of those are random and unannounced so the wild card is when those surveys come about," Pilkington said.
Wildcard aside, the staff is busy preparing to open the doors to patients.
"I came from a small area and the small hospital I worked in everybody was family, co-workers, the patients, and just being able to treat them like they're family and bringing that culture into a larger facility or a larger community but in a bigger facility is very exciting to me," Director of Medical and Surgical Services Stacie Avdem said.
Doctor's Hospital is the first and only hospital in North Dakota owned by Physicians Hospital System.
Representatives say they want to give the people of Grand Forks and the surrounding area more choice when it comes to health care.

Well I don't know if the new is known outside Chile, but what its going on here has become pretty big.
Everything start with a Stundet Strike and the Hydroelectric on the south. Now everything become bigger, the Stundets are being supported by the Teachers Association and Estatal Universities. The LGBTQ has added to the strike to fight the Gay Marriage (thing that the president said it was gonna fight for, but nothing has happened). The Central Workers Federation also join the strike (those are workers). There are also Chilean Natives (Araucanos) who are adding to the strike and also making terrorist attacks on the south. There are also demands for the problem of the earthquake damage, where we have still a big amount of families without home. And the thing keep getting bigger and bigger, the government is against the wall, and they have lost a lot of power.
The Minister Joaquin Lavin was banned for any talk with the student, because he is making money with the education, having a University that he is using as a real estate franchise. And there is demand to use the money of the copper for the education (there is a law made by Pinochet that put most of that money for the Military Organism).
The demand of the Stundets are: Changes on the Constitution, Change on organic laws (made by Pinochet), Free Education (mostly to buffer the spends of education), Reconstruction of Schools post earth quack.
So yeah, everything its getting pretty cool in here.
Whoa. Good Luck you guys. Alot of revoultions lately.. Just be careful that even if you guys do make him leave office, the next guy isn't worse.
Anything new?
At the moment:
-The president did a speech about the university credits, founds for educations and others.
-The students of the Fech didn't like it to much and now they are working on demands (something they had to have done before).
-The workers of the copper are in strike for the nationalization of copper (In Chile the law says that the copper is from all of us, but Pinochet sold the copper to foreigner privates, so most of the money that come from this go out of the country. This is the biggest income of the country, a 60% goes out of the country and doesn't need to much workers, so it doesn't provide work).

For anyone wanting to use Loc-line arms on a Gates housing, here is what i did.
Light & Motion Bluefin housings have a fitting that comes on there handles. This fitting can be unscrewed & better yet, contact your local dealer & order a pair from them.
I got mine from Pete Mooney at Scubapix.
The centre hole in the fitting is the same size as the hole in the Gates handles so it was just a matter of finding the right screws or nut & bolt combo & fitting them.
I used 316 stainless screws & a nyloc nut but you could easily cut a thread into the handle with a tap & dye & just use a screw.
Now my Sola 4000s are easily attached & unattached simply by pulling up the collar & twisting.
Hope that is of use for someone else.
Cheers Pete.

Topanga Canyon is home to two couples on a collision course. Los Angeles liberals Delaney and Kyra Mossbacher lead an ordered sushi-and-recycling existence in a newly gated hilltop community: he a sensitive nature writer, she an obsessive realtor. Mexican illegals Candido and America Rincon desperately cling to their vision of the American Dream as they fight off starvation in a makeshift camp deep in the ravine. And from the moment a freak accident brings Candido and Delaney into intimate contact, these four and their opposing worlds gradually intersect in what becomes a tragicomedy of error and misunderstanding.

"We were very pleased with the 2014 calendar card we ordered to send to our good clients, friends, and family members. The picture turned out kind of faded, but it was okay over all. The tiny prints rep in the print department suggested to us that the photo would be best if lighter than the original image we uploaded. The photo turned out even lighter than we expected (based on the proof sent to us). My husband is very dark skinned and my shirt a very vibrant bright green. The photo looks kind of pale and washed out. Otherwise, we liked he calendar and our clients love it! We had a problem with the delivery. We were told the calendar would be delivered on Friday 11/27. It never arrived, so we called Tiny Prints. The put an expedited shipping order in to deliver the cards to us on Monday 11/30. It all worked out fine. Tiny Prints were really wonderful to work with and very accommodating!"
"I absolutely loved this card. We added nine e-signatures to the bottom and they turned out very nicely. I highly recommend this card, perfect for holidays! I"
"I ordered this card and sent it out to my clients and after it was mailed withing two days I had three people calling not only to say thank you for the beautiful card but their first remark was " what a nice design, this card is so different than any other card they usually receive". The card is simple but yet delivers the message so gracefully."
"The card was exactly what I was looking for! The colors are vibrant and bright and the paper quality is fantastic. The card stock is very thick and gives the card a high end feel. Overall, a great card for the holidays!"
"This is a very nice card made with a quality cardstock. Be aware that the color is not a bright red - it's more of a brck red. We approved our proof on 11/8/12 (we put our company logo on the front and our names were printed on the back) and we received our order of 400 cards on 11/15/12 - FANTASTIC service! This is our fourth year ordering from Tiny Prints."

Broken Arrow police say around 9:30am Friday, a homeowner shot at two men who were attempting to break into her home in the 500 block of N. Aster Ave.Police say the woman heard a knock at the door, and peeked out a window and spotted two men she didn't know. She spoke with FOX23's Dontaye Carter about what happened."One kick to get through this door," the homeowner said.She didn't want to be identified but the mother of two said she grabbed her gun to be prepared when two men forced their way into her home. "When he came in he was crouched over and had his gun and he went to point the gun at me," she said.That's when she opened fire. The pistol hasn't left her hip since she fired three shots at the burglars. Two weeks ago, she finished her concealed carry class. She took the class because she was afraid of being defenseless."I think it could've had a different outcome," she added.While looking through her peephole she heard one man say "they've got a dog." She said hearing that made her feel uneasy. So, she called police and grabbed her gun to protect herself. Broken Arrow police say she did the right thing."We're not going to advocate buying a firearm but we want to make sure you're taking every precaution to keep your residence secure," said Broken Arrow Police Corporal Leon Calhoun."I'd think they'd be smart enough to not come back," the mother of two told FOX23.The men are described as white, in their mid-20's and wearing dark-colored sweatshirts. Police believe the men may be driving a 90's model ford passenger vehicle with dark tinted windows and a sunroof.If you have any information on the crime call Broken Arrow Police at 918- 259-8400.
